While Angara served as the spokesperson of the prosecution panel during the trial, Santiago was among the three senator-judges who voted for Corona's acquittal.

By a vote of 20-3, the Senate sitting as an impeachment court found Corona guilty of Article II of the impeachment complaint: did not fully disclose his assets in his statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN).

Meanwhile, also on Twitter, Angara thanked the senator for the endorsement.

A series of emails sent to media by the Angara campaign has set aside all modesty and called him “an epitome of a Pinoy heartthrob,” “kilabot ng mga bebot,” and “like ng mga lola," in addition to the more commonplace “guwapo” and “handsome," the same article said.
